A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting chronicles the devastating massacre at Tree of Life Synagogue on October 27, 2018—the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history. Through deeply personal interviews with survivors, family members of the slain, and members of the Pittsburgh Jewish community, the film lays bare the immediate horror of that day and explores the long journey of grief, resilience, reckoning, and hope for healing. The film is available to view on HBOMax. Newcomers are welcome to join the dialogue.

We gather for traditional daily prayer. Additionally, those who are mourning a loved one or observing the anniversary of a loss (yahrtzeit) can use this opportunity to recite communal Mourner’s Kaddish.

The Synagogue is excited to partner with Magic City Books in welcoming home, long-time Tulsan and congregation member, Barry Friedman, to celebrate the newest book in his series, Jack Sh*t 3: I’m the Father.
